Returning phone and contract question

Looking for some guidance. On 9/14 I ordered an Att 32gb via Apple with the 2 week shipping window, scheduled for a 10/5 delivery. My phone has now shipped from China with a delivery of 10/2. For several reasons, I have decided to drop att and switch to VZW and plan to purchase in store when it's available.

I was not under contract with Att before I ordered the phone but now am showing a contract commitment from 9/14/12 through 9/14/14.

1. When the phone arrives, can I easily return it to Apple?

2. Will that reset my contract commitment (i.e., I'll no longer be under contract with ATT)?

I ordered via apple as well. I called apple and had them call my closest apple store just to make sure I could return it. They said it was fine so I took it in and had no pro lens returning it. My contract went back to normal as well with AT&T so I think you will be fine. I would call apple to ask about returns to your particular apple store though.
